Reviewer comments Dr. Lee, Chemical Engineering, Auburn University – This textbook contains materials that are lacking in textbooks currently available. Dr. Riley, Biosystems Engeering Univ. of Arizona, Yes I would adopt it and I am quite certain that many others would also. Dr. Wilson, University of Houston, Chemical Engineering, What will distinquish the book from others available? Newer, up-to-date. Good perspective on current commercial practices. Great well-regard author.
